I used a vacuum bleeder from Harbor freight to get it started. IF you have speed bleeders installed the vacuum pump is the only way to get it started. Or you can put a stock bleeder back in to get it close.

WOW Jet Ski races in the pond for MD...........

Yup, it is blocked in my country too.......

If you win, let me know before you do anything, so I can buy stock in relays.

Do you mean the Technical Library?

I did not get a notice but then I was not due to get one for a couple weeks yet. But I did renew so you are stuck with me for another year.

Some one mention food, ans SNOW cones? I have not had to do my forks yet. My seals are good and everything is tight so I only intent to replace the springs and oil. From what I have read, you want OEM seals, after market do not hold up. Oil weight is a lot of personal preference in how you want the bike to ride, how much weight you carry, etc.

That just has way to many possibilities for a dirty old man like me...........

Maybe it will look better once it is shiny and red........

But now you are stuttering.......

Weather look good. A little cool but nice and sunny. Even if you forgot to RSVP they always have room for a few more. See ya a little later.......

My Firefox got here with no issues. I have no other browsers to try. The site does seem faster.

The venture is headed back to be more like the good ones, the 1st gens!!! Frame mounted fairing, fairing mounted rear views. But I do have to agree it looks like a V-twin. If it is the 1900 Strat engine as some have suggested, the 2nd gens will still be the slowest Ventures. With the flat black paint it is hard to tell what it really looks like. I think I like the upper faring but I don't think I like those monster bulbous front lowers. The storage looks decent enough. I like BIG. It does look like 1st gen passenger floorboards.

I have wanted to make it to your root beer run for a few years now. it just never seems to work out......

So once again is is those Canadians leaving the door open........:snow: :cold: :cold:

I'll have to see if I still have my old plates for some bikes and cars that I no longer own. You could come up to the M&E tomorrow to pick them up..... (OK shameless plug)

That must make me an Olympic pizza eater, my resting heart rate is in the low 40s......

I would not want to sit and watch 27 hurs of hard work. but it might be fun to go check out. 10,000 yards will make for one big rock once it all sets up. I wonder how many yards of re bar (or Jimmy Hoffa's) will be buried in there.

But I have no problem watching others do hard work.......I don't even get tired any more.

That will be late August........

This might just be interesting to go watch. They will be doing one continuous pour of concrete for a building foundation. 50 trucks bringing 1000 loads of concrete to pour 10,000 cubic yards of concrete in 27 hours. Northwestern Mutual to pour foundation for 32-story office tower Who says that insurance companies don't have extra money.......

Wisconsin and Arizona met in the Elite Eight last year. It was a dog fight but Wisconsin prevailed. Hope we are headed for a repeat performance.

We got more snow last night...... I'll be sure to forward it on to the east since I am done with it for now.....

Unfortunately I have to agree with Eck...... There is no place in this country to build a home of any type that is safe from mother nature. There is no state that has never had a tornado, the USA has more tornadoes than the rest of the world combined. The USA averages 1,000 per year, Canada is a distant second averaging "only" 100 per year. Some of that may simply be the better reporting than any other country? I guess we need to move everyone off of the west coast because they have earth quakes and volcanoes, we need to move everyone out of the middle of the country because of the tornadoes, and we need to get everyone out of the south and east coast to protect them from hurricanes. Look out Mexico and Canada, here we come. Even a poured concrete home rated for 300MPH wind is not safe, tornadoes have been clocked at over 300 MPH. Will that concrete home still stop a 2,000 lb car that the wind picked up that is coming in at 300 mph? How about a 5 ton oak tree? I do agree that a mobile home is less safe than a well built home. A near miss will leave the well built home standing with some damage but that same near miss could still totally wipe out a mobile home. Yes there are some areas that are very prone to natural disasters and should not have any buildings located there. Like places along a river that flood every couple of years. I did speak to one person that lives in a flood prone area. They look at it as they get all new stuff every couple of years almost for free cuz I'm paying for it. The inconviniance is worth it to always have new stuff.

Puc I sure hope they figure out your heart stuff, I can really relate to the feelings of finding out that something is not working correctly but they don't know why. I know that due to the heart stuff I am still looking a real possibility of taking the big red truck to Dons MD, if so, I'll have plenty of room, let me know if I need to pick you and/or Tippy up on the way there.
